FORT WORTH, Texas - A trio of TCU football players helped Albertson's deliver 500 whole chickens to the Tarrant Area Food Bank on Friday afternoon. The grocery store donated a chicken for every point scored by the Horned Frogs this season.

Making the deliveries along with representatives from Albertson's were Greg McCoy, Blaize Foltz and Jon Koontz. 500 local families in need will receive whole chicken roasters this holiday season as part of a special program called "Turkeys for Touchdowns" between TCU and Albertsons. Because of the increased price of turkeys this year, Tarrant Area Food Bank requested chickens in order to match the quantity with TCU's point total and provide a holiday meat for the greatest number of families.
